- Value priced! About 200 pgs shorter than other texts on the market, and about $25 less. Offers the quality and reliability of Sonntag/Borgnakke/Vanwylen at an attractive price.
- New chapter on Chemical Reactions. A new chapter on chemical reactions, focused on fuels and combustion processes, and including an introduction to chemical equilibrium, has been included to help make the text more appropriate for a two semester sequence.
- Revised coverage of heat transfer. A chapter on heat transfer is included as an introduction to this core topic. In 2e this chapter has been rewritten with a stronger emphasis on applications, particularly those involving cooling of electronic devices.
- Improved learning and study tools. Each chapter includes Chapter Summaries, Key Concepts and Formulas, and Concept Problems. New Concept Checkpoints throughout the chapter allow students to test themselves on how well they understand concepts just presented.
- How-to Sections at the end of most chapters help answer commonly asked questions and offer students an opportunity to develop skills needed for success in the course, such as How To Determine the State of a Substance (chapter 3)
- Examples, illustrations, and homework problems have all been expanded and revised. A large number of new problems are included, especially introductory-level problems.
- Reorganized discussion of Entropy in chapter 8. Discussion of calculating entropy for various thermodynamic models and its use in thermodynamic processes appears before the behavior of entropy in irreversible processes is discussed.
- Tables of Thermodynamic and Transport Properties (CATT2) software available as a download from the student companion site.
- ThermoNet online tutorials, with accompanying graphics, animations, and video clips. Free with purchase of a new text. Available online with the registration code inside text.
